Health anxiety. constant lightheadedness

[enginate00]

Hello everyonei am 24 years old (male)  I used to smoke weed.. almost every day.. and all weekend every weekend.. from friday to sunday straight for about 2 years. This whole time i never left the house on weekends just went to work came home played video games watched movies.. with barely any social interaction. Back in Feburary i was enjoying a typical saturday night stoned when all of a sudden i felt as if i was having a heart attack..these attacks lasted  numerous times a day for weeks. During this whole .. up till now over 4 months i have been constantly lightheaded. I eat extremely healthy i quit smoking both pot and cigarettes back in a feburary.. i take fish oil.. vitamins hemp protein.. eat lots of organic go running a few times a week. I have had 2 ekgs, a chest xray numerous blood tests in the past months.. seen a phych got a girlfriend.. stopped working went back to school.. huge changes in my life.. But i am still constantly lightheaded almost like im permannently stoned.. not a nice feeling.. Anyimte i get sick or feel a twitch pain or spasm i automatically think i have life threatening diseases, and am going to die relatively soon. I know that now the lightheadedness is caused by stress.. but how long is this **** going to last.. i cant concentrate focus.. or do anything.. i just want to be normal again. thanks for the time

Look, Jarhead, you can't just quit these meds.  They're strong medicine.  You have to taper slowly off them.  You're suffering withdrawal.  Fish oil might help the brain zaps, but don't do this, withdrawal can be really bad and condition the mind to things you never had before.  If all you're getting is lightheadedness and zaps, you're actually doing well, but if it gets too bad to handle, go back on the last dose at which you had no symptoms of withdrawal, and taper slowly.

Man, you basically just described my life to a tee. Even down to the lightheadiness.I usually feel it when i wake up, and for around an hour later.It began happening to me when after i tried to quit taking zoloft, and now while i'm trying to quit taking paxil. I dont like the meds, because im not depressed. And i feel theres natural things to take care of my anxiety caused by twice diagnosed ADHD.I take concerta for that also which is good so far. But yeah, i also get these little "brain zaps".It feels like little zaps of electricity in my head, and that scares the **** out of me too.But thats only because ive been in two VERY bad wrecks in which i was knocked out both times, so i always think its a aneurysm or something, but thats the adhd overthinking stuff-at least thats what i tell myself. And i quit smoking cigs about 4 months ago, so wonder if that has anything to do with it too?

Lots of people who never used weed have the same problem.  What weed does is intensify whatever you're already feeling inside; it probably brought out the anxiety that was coming anyway.  Don't obsess on the past weed use, but don't use it anymore; weed and anxiety don't mix.  Focus on the future, as silver says, and seek therapy now.  Don't wait.

Sounds like anxiety/Panic to me, since your test came back ok, did you tell your Dr. whats going on in your life? I looked over your other post and seems you are dealing with issues? this Anxiety/Panic will last until you work on the issues, when we don't work on our issues, our body will tell our mind in many ways.
